An excellent copy of the first edition of Sir Michael Dummet's large seminal work - and arguably the definitive telling - outlining the history of the Tarot.
A hugely impressive study, fluently writer, studiously researched and prolifically illustrated.
Dummett was a highly influential academic at Oxford University and this book showcases his rigour and method around the topic.
An essential work for the collector of Tarot books.
Pages are first rate: clean and bright, with no inscriptions, markings or foxing.
All illustrations are intact and in excellent condition.
Binding is very good.
Slightest lean to book (typical due to its size).
Covers are clean and tidy.
Dust jacket is superb: unclipped, and unlike many copies of this edition NO sun fade to covers or spine, just the slightest age-related nibbling at top edge.
This is an excellent copy of a profoundly important book on the Tarot.
See photos, all of which are of the copy for sale, we don't use stock photos.
